Public money crime complaints drop 70percent
From January to the end of July 2026, there was a significant decline in the number of complaints related to public finance crimes directed to the public prosecution offices in Fez, Rabat, Casablanca, and Marrakech. The complaints dropped from 320 to 97, representing a decrease of 69.69%. This decline coincides with amendments made to the Criminal Procedure Law, particularly Article 3, which introduced new conditions for initiating investigations and filing lawsuits in cases of public finance crimes. Now, such actions require a request from the Public Prosecutor based on referrals from official bodies such as the Supreme Audit Court or the General Inspectorates. As a result, the legal change has impacted how associations and civil actors operate, leading to a decrease in direct complaints, while referrals and reports from oversight institutions increased. This may not necessarily indicate a real decrease in crimes but could threaten to reduce the channels for direct reporting.
